Chương 92: So close but so far away at the same time
Part 1 - Relief
We could not enjoy much of the camera, we were very aware of our mother, or rather of our anger against her, I was sure that both Emi and I had our hands hurt from squeezing them so much, but none of us could help it.
The people around us were fascinated with the place, but I couldn't concentrate on anything but my hatred, which Aki had noticed and was holding my other arm, while he was hugging my chest, which I was grateful for.
-Why of all the places we had to come to, did she have to be there, Hikaru?
-I wonder the same thing Emi, this is horrible, I want to run away from here, it hurts so much sister.
My words made Emi's anger turn into concern towards me, she bent down and hugged me turning her back to what our mother was saying about the information of the camera.
-I said, "Calm down, it's all right, stay with me, don't let her take you away from me again.
I practically did not listen to Emi, I made eye contact with my supposed mother, whom I looked at with hatred, I was sure that my look must resemble the painting of the Fallen Angel by Alexandre Cabanel.
Shortly after our gazes met, she looked away, forgetting what she was talking about and remaining silent, making the other visitors wonder what was going on, but when she realized it, she continued as if nothing had happened.
Once the guide finished, the first thing we did was to get out of that place, we wanted to get lost, to get out of there at all costs, even Aki told us to hurry, although I think he said it more because I looked bad.
-Children, wait, let me at least explain.
We both stopped dead in our tracks.
-Explain... Do you know how long I waited for that? no, you don't know because you weren't even there, I don't even remember two fucking years of my life, because when you left me the shock was so hard that I couldn't accept the reality at 9 years old, and don't call me son again, because the only person who was my mother, was her, Emi, it's thanks to her that I came back from wherever I was trapped in my mind, and the worst of all is that you don't know the damage you cause us just by seeing you, when we met at the Arekkaido mall, because of you Emi.... You don't even deserve to know what happened, rot, go to hell, or throw yourself from the top of the temple, do whatever you want, but don't go near us and even less to Emi.
Both Emi and Aki saw how furious I was, they both said my name at the same time for realizing everything I had said.
-I... I never wanted to leave you, you have to understand....
That was the last word Emi could stand, "you have to understand", that was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Emi approached with total hostility to our progenitor.
-Never come near us again, you shattered me, but I endured, not shit, it was because I had Hikaru by my side that I was able to move on, you shattered him, two damn years I had to see an empty shell of the person I love the most in this world... two years... and luckily he came back, in all that time, how long now, almost six years? ... two years... and luckily he came back, in all that time, how long already?... almost six years you never approached us to give a minimal explanation, you simply left with a younger man, the person I liked at that time, so this is for all that... - Emi said with so much anger, that her chin even twitched every moment she spoke.
Emi slapped our progenitor something I never thought I would see, but she had done it, I ran to her, because I knew this was not right, and I was partly afraid of that woman's reaction. I grabbed Emi's arm so that we could leave the place, which she agreed, but before doing so, she said one last thing.
-I moved away from you to protect you.
-So, you are protecting us by walking away from us, go to hell lady, just disappear from our lives. - I said angrily.
We left her alone going straight to the bus.
Part 2 - The mother
My own daughter had punched me in the face, I must admit she did it quite hard and for some reason I felt proud of that strength.
-I walked away from you to protect you.
That was the last thing I could say to them, since my own son had sent this incompetent mother to hell.
They had retreated, but I was still standing there like a fool doing nothing.
-Protecting them from me....
My assistant approached me with some ice.
-For the blow, it left her cheek swollen.
-Oh, thank you Mery, you're a sweetheart, this is all ready, isn't it?
The assistant nodded.
-I didn't want to tell you before because I was with your children, I didn't want to bother you, but I'm sorry things didn't go well at all.
-Don't worry Mery, I am to blame for all that, I was a bad mother to them, besides I should never have given birth to them, I sealed their destiny with that, I couldn't even protect them as I should have.
The assistant looked all around making sure they were alone, when she made sure of them she hugged me from behind the woman.
-Venus, don't be so hard on yourself, if they knew everything you have done for them, they would never treat you like that, my dear, if they knew that the man you left with wanted to take them away, you were right to kill him, so don't torment yourself.
Mery was kissing my neck, something that made her put a smile on my mouth.
-Not here, besides I'm not in the mood Mery, but I appreciate your caresses.
-It's not like we have a lot of time alone, Venus.
Venus turned around as Mery was still kissing her neck, she gave Mery a kiss, something that left her pleased.
-You're right, but I think you understand why I'm not in the mood right now. - I told her as I tapped her on the nose with my finger.
She directed me back into the chamber, behind the nekosis cat statue that was there, an automatic door opened revealing another room.
Mery went in first and handed me the robe, I put it on and we entered an elevator to the lower floors.
-Venus, what would you like to eat today?
-I don't feel like anything today.
-Come on Venus, you have to forget what happened, I know it's not easy, but you have to go on... what are you going to do with your children, Mercury is ready to kidnap them.
-Tell the idiot not to do it here, at least I want to give them a good memory before everything goes to hell.
Mery took something out of his pocket, pressed a button, but nothing happened, although, I knew what he did.
-Why are you blocking the signal?
-If you want to save your children and escape with them, I'll help you, I'll go with you wherever you go.
-What you say goes against everything the V.T.A. believes, you could die for what you just said. - I said annoyed.
-If it's you that should end my life, then go ahead, I live only for you Venus.
I couldn't help getting angry, I slapped Mery, maybe her words were nice, but I couldn't help getting annoyed that she didn't think about herself.
-How many times do I have to tell you to think about yourself, tell me, I... sorry... no, even if I manage to escape with my children they will find us sooner or later, it would only prolong the inevitable... I curse the day I let myself be seduced by Cronos, he offered me a new world... and I fell like a fool thinking that everything would be fine... what would my children say if they knew that Cronos is their real father...
-Mery, he is not her father, he only planted the seed to create what he is looking for, the perfect body, two souls, a man and a woman in the same body, the equilibrium, the peak of alchemy, the power of light and darkness in one, he only wanted to create the cattle to take it, to fulfill his dream, that's why I tell you I will do what you decide, my love.
It was sad since Mery's love was sickly, but I still loved it.
The elevator opened its doors, Mery pressed the button again so that the signal would work again.
Mery walked to a capsule that had someone inside, a capsule that was connected to a bunch of tubes that injected cold temperature.
-So what are we going to do with it?
-Well Mery, as much as it costs me to do this, she is Hikaru's girlfriend, we will use her body as bait for it.
I kept looking at the inert body of the young Akari that was enclosed in the capsule.
